General rant for the tanks out there who are being driven off the server.

My butt is just fine thanks. And Seriously I never do use caps lock and I don't curse until after the buffoons start to argue with me and be ass hats about what they should have learned fighting crocs.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion. But there is so much nerd rage on this server that even politely reminding people of their roles and what to do when shit starts hitting the fan in a group causes people to act like their entire lives have been devalued.

Seriously the whole post is simply just a rant about how one should not act like a 3 yr old child and shut the FSCK up and play.

But ya, If someone says, k, thx I already understand this, then I won't keep on it. But when people are downright pricks to prove an invalid point, yes.

And when I can pull and tank for hrs without dieing and keep the xp flowing and then some prick has to throw a wrench in the works by arguing/being dumb... ya IMO they should just can it or leave.

A mages job is to sit there, use assist, /assist, pause 10, /pet attack and frakkin kill the mob dead at whatever % life they think won't pull agro... THATS it, its not their job to frakkin debate what targets to fight etc... same goes for everyone else.

Wanna be the hero, take charge and save the day, please PLEASE roll a tank and see what the hell I am talking about.

You're afraid to swear on a R&F forum...that right there is enough to show you're bad. It's /pause 1, just to compensate for the target switch time, and if a Mage pet is attacking the wrong target, if the Mage knows what they're doing, it's the tanks fault for not saying he is switching targets.

That's some solid logic right there.

In my 10+ years of MMO playing it's been a pretty standard issue that people who try too hard to 'play nice', not curse, etc usually suck. Family style guilds where everyone is all goody goody nice nice are usually full of trash players, whereas every endgame guild I've ever been in or interacted with had some pretty awful language that on occasion even made me pause for a second, but at least they knew their shit.

Get a monk. Single pull everything, then keep chain pulling. In my late 20's early 30's I was still able to main heal on my Druid, because of the puller.

hah you tanks have it easy, try playing a enchanter... you have to deal with retarded dps and retarded tanks and retarded pullers and retarded healers.

the general population is all of the above. hence why i solo [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

its no different than live, the general population was retarded too.

not everyone needs to come straight out and tell you to stfu and listen.
i do pretty good at getting my points across and commanding in /g and /gu without swearing to get the job done.
im in constant tells to my healer, and when needed my puller/mezzer and raid leaders, everyone else just do your jobs and converse or w/e it is you wanna do.
btw i did use a 2h thru level 50 and tanked phinny quite well with it my first attempt before i ever got yaks so fuck off! hahah

Hell you have made alot of great points here and for those who dont know especially those enchanters who "know what theyre doing" and get themselves killed its all based on teamwork really but the huge issues is ignorant pet classes mainly mages and rogue who are too retarded to use assist keys and get their groups a harder fight for xp. Now about tanking as a whole its not too drastically hard and for those who arent so sure about what to do just take a quick look at what monsters you are fighting... casters pose the most threat to your groups and who ever can stun should spam those type of spells even if you are the healer, you will save more mana and time keeping those casters locked than just dps'ing it down, otherwise like i said before the problem with tankin is idiots who are too lazy to assist and thats all i ahve to say on that for now

Stupid tanks who don't know how to either -A) Get aggro on a mob prior to breaking mez B) Make sure someone rooted the mob so it doesn't rape the Enchanter- are causing a lot of Enchanters to do the same thing. They don't realize mez is SERIOUS aggro, and even more so if the Enchanter is also slowing.

true dark, maybe the quality of chanters has dropped tho, my chanters usually had them things spinning before i got my 2nd taunt off.
props to yiam / glitch and a few quality others [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
